"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase in the United States' Declaration of Independence.

The phrase gives three examples of the "unalienable rights" the Declaration says have been given to all human beings by their Creator.

The Declaration proclaims that a government should protect these rights, which include “the pursuit of happiness.”

Based on new discoveries in the Science of Happiness and Positive Psychology, there has been much written about pursuing happiness.

Based on new discoveries in the Science of Happiness and Positive Psychology, there has been much written about pursuing happiness.

How do you pursue happiness?  A lot has been said about practicing gratitude for the great things we already have in our lives, and that
creates a powerful foundation for happiness.

However, there is another key to happiness - love and compassion. Loving and feeling compassionate for others’ needs, and wanting to
show them they are loved is a way to super-charge your happiness.

To practice gratitude and love together, boosts the power of both and happiness follows quickly!

“Because of the way that your brain operates, the pursuit of gratitude and compassion will make you happier than the pursuit of happiness.”
~ Dr. Arnit Sood, Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic

This week, try the quickest way to greater happiness - practice gratitude and love in your life.  Connect with people.  Make eye contact and smile.  Hug as many people as you can.  Love them dearly.

And see your gratitude expand in amazing ways, and then your ability to love will concomitantly be super-sized as a result!

Amazing!  Want a happy life?  Gratitude and love.

Happiness to you!!

Love,
